Part Three, Chapter 40, Waste of Previous Efforts 7
[69 Book Bar - www.] I can't refute what he said. The constitutional system is originally contrary to the monarchy with supreme monarchy, so what he said is actually not bad. Is it just a monarchy? Isn't this empire good?
become an empire
, is not a bad thing. If the country is destroyed, the family will not be destroyed. But he said it so grandly, I can't openly say that the empire's collapse is a good thing. I cursed: "What nonsense are you talking about? You are cursing His Majesty,
Killing an ordinary person indiscriminately should be punished by death."
Now that I said the word "Your Majesty", they did not kowtow. Instead, a large number of people stood up and pointed their guns at us. Another person shouted: "Those who collaborate with traitors are also traitors! Chu Xiu
Hong, don’t rely on yourself for your merits for the empire, we, the millions of citizens of the empire, will never agree!”
After he finished shouting, the people behind him shouted in unison: "Honor the king and the people, be loyal to the king and love the country. Give your life for the country and die a worthy death." The momentum was very frightening. Their roars were uniform, and I couldn't even hear what I wanted to say. I
Feeling confused for a while, Yang Yi stepped forward from behind and whispered: "General, please bring in the Wude Camp immediately."
I shook my head, not knowing how empty I felt. When I left the military academy, a student named Liu Fengwu asked me what a famous general was. I said that the purpose of the army is to protect the country and the people. If it is used to deal with the people, then this army will also be useless.
It loses the meaning of existence. Even if the people of the Zunwang Regiment are unreasonable, they are still subjects of the empire. How can I mobilize the army?
, come here to kill for a while? How is that different from when Marquis Wen was in chaos in the imperial capital? Yesterday, I was still full of joy, feeling that this new era had arrived, but I didn't expect that it would become like this after just one day. I don't know
Whether the killed member of the Republican Army had a high status or not, if he was at Zheng Zhao's level, the coalition government would come to an end immediately.
At this time, the royal group shouted and rushed towards me with their guns drawn. I dragged the man and couldn't get away for a while, but I heard Cao Wendao yell angrily: "You bastard!" His body swayed like a whirlwind.
They rushed straight up. When those people saw someone coming up, they stabbed them with their guns.
Before he was hit, the person in front of him suddenly let out an "ah" sound and fell to the ground. Cao Wendao took advantage of the situation and grabbed his gun. He held it upside down and swiped it with the gun to block the guns. The gun in his hand was already gone.
He came over and was about to stab him. I screamed: "Don't kill anyone!"
The man who wanted to assassinate Cao Wendao was knocked down by a bullet, so it was naturally Feng Qi who took action. Feng Qi and the other nine people lived in a small house next to my house. I was drinking with the commander of Wude Camp, and they were naturally on vacation. I heard outside
There was a voice, and he rushed out at this time. Feng Qi rushed to me and said: "General Chu, do you want to take action?"
I said: "Don't kill people. It will be difficult if you kill people."
Feng Qi grinned and said, "Don't worry, General Chu. I'm using clay pills. He won't die, he'll just look a little red." Feng Qi usually uses either iron pills or stone pills. Those two kinds of injuries can cause immediate death. They are used for practice.
The medicine was made of clay pills. Although it was quite painful, it would not kill anyone.
As expected, the man who was knocked down by him was getting up in a daze, with blood streaming from his forehead. As soon as he got up, he shouted: "You... how dare you beat the righteous people of the King's Regiment!"
Feng Qi didn't wait for him to finish speaking. He flicked his hand up and down, and another mud bomb hit him in the mouth. Although the mud bomb scattered immediately after impact, this bullet also made his mouth full of blood, and he was afraid that his teeth would be knocked out.
A few. The man screamed, his speech was slurred, and he quickly retreated. Cao Wendao wanted to chase, but I said: "Cao Wendao, stop chasing!"
At this time, someone suddenly shouted: "Zhijinwu is here!" There was a sudden commotion among the people of the Zunwang Group and they retreated. The flagpole with the people hanging on it was originally supported by several people, but now it lost support and fell down immediately. Cao Wendao
Seeing that the situation was not good, he rushed forward to help him. But although he was strong, there was still a flag hanging on the flagpole.
He was trying to pull someone back, but he was unable to do so, and only slightly weakened the falling force. At this time, Yang Yi, Chen Zhong and the others rushed forward, and the five of them held on to the flagpole at the same time, and the flagpole immediately stopped falling.
They slowly lowered the flagpole and put the man down. I raised my head and asked, "How is that man?"
Yang Yi bent down and tasted the man's breath, and shook his head at me. I felt angry, and the Baipi knife pressed down, and cursed at the man I restrained: "Asshole! You kill people at will!"
But that man was stubborn. I had put the knife on his neck, but he was still holding his neck and said: "It is not a pity to die for traitors and traitors! How can you be considered an imperial officer if you don't know good and evil?"
I wanted to chop him off with a knife, but I still kept my hand. At this time, someone in front shouted: "We are Zhi Jinwu, what happened here?"
It was a small team of Zhi Jinwu, led by a young officer. I was about to speak when the officer in charge of Zhi Jinwu exclaimed: "General Cao! Oh my God, it's really General Cao!"
Cao Wendao put away the gun and said: "You are..."
"I am Lin Wu, General Cao. You trained us back then, and I met you once two years ago when I was sending a poor woman to Beitian Courtyard."
Cao Wendao must have forgotten who Lin Wu was. After a few snorts, Lin Wu suddenly exclaimed: "General Chu!"
As soon as I heard that Lin Wu said that the refugee woman should be sent to Beitian Yuan, I already remembered an incident two years ago. The peasant woman who fled that time refused to be adopted by Beitian Yuan because Beitian Yuan would not accept her son.
, so I gave her sixteen silver coins so that she could raise her son in Beitian Court without giving her son away. I can remember Lin Wu because I can hear it.
When Lin Wu handed the sixteen gold coins to the peasant woman, he said it was seventeen gold coins plus thirty silver coins. The extra points were naturally given to the peasant woman by the rest of them. Although they had only seen this once, Lin Wu
Wu left a very good impression on me. He was loyal and kind. I put away the knife, stood up and said, "Is this General Lin Wu? I am Chu Xiuhong."
Lin Wu rushed up to me in two or three steps, stepped forward together, saluted, and said: "Young general Jin Wuwei Xiaoqi Lin Wu has met the Governor of Chu."
He was still a centurion last time, but now it seems that he has been promoted to one level. I pointed to the man on the ground and said: "This man deliberately killed someone. Put him in prison and send him to the Ministry of Punishments for trial."
Lin Wudao: "Yes." He took out the rope from his arms and was about to tie up the man. Suddenly he was stunned, raised his head and said, "Captain Chu, he is from the King Zun Group."
Lin Wu probably could tell from the red cloth that the man was wearing around his head. I said, "What happened to the Zunwang Group?"
Lin Wu was a little embarrassed and whispered: "Captain Chu, your Majesty has an order to say that the King Respecting Group is a loyal and patriotic citizen with the support of the people, so he ordered us to let the King Respecting Regiment do things easily. Governor, I'm afraid even if we arrest him, the Ministry of Punishment will
I won’t accept it either.”
I was stunned. I never thought that the emperor would have such an imperial edict. For the past year, I have been focused on negotiating with the Republican Army and working for the establishment of the constitution. I almost didn’t care about things on the streets. I said: "Your Majesty said that they should do things easily."
,Did you say that they can kill people at will?"
Lin Wudao: "That's not true."
"This man deliberately killed someone, arrest him for murder!"
Lin Wu's eyes also glowed, and he stood at attention and said: "As ordered!"
Lin Wu tied up the man behind his back, but he showed no fear on his face. He just looked at me and sneered. Cao Wendao was furious when he saw him like that. He punched him and stepped forward. I grabbed him and said, "Brother Cao,
Let Zhijinwu handle this matter."
Cao Wendao's face was full of anger and he said: "It's so arrogant. There are such lawless people. What does it look like?"
My heart is also extremely heavy. I didn’t expect that the Zunwang Group would develop to this extent unknowingly, and they are almost pathologically opposed to everything about the Republican Army, and they also pathologically declare to support the emperor. If there are just one or two people, that’s it.
But as he said, they were millions of people. The person who wrote the blood letter that day even said that the Zunwang Group had a total of 200,000 people.
The joy in my heart before was gone, and a haze weighed heavily on my heart. What happened to the Empire?
